Microglial migration mediated by ATP-induced ATP release from lysosomes

TL;DR: It is suggested that microglia respond to extracellular ATP by releasing ATP themselves through lysosomal exocytosis, thereby providing a positive feedback mechanism to generate a long-rangeextracellular signal for attracting distantmicroglia to migrate towards and accumulate at the site of injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

P2Y4 receptor-mediated pinocytosis contributes to amyloid beta-induced self-uptake by microglia.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate a previously unknown function of ATP as a “drink me” signal for microglia and P2Y4 receptors as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuronal activity regulates neurotransmitter switching in the adult brain following light-induced stress

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that elevated activity of dopaminergic neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PaVN) in the adult rat is required for the loss of dopamine expression after long-day photoperiod exposure, indicating homeostatic regulation of transmitter expression in the PaVN.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise enhances motor skill learning by neurotransmitter switching in the adult midbrain

TL;DR: It is suggested that neurotransmitter switching provides the basis by which sustained running benefits motor skill learning, presenting a target for clinical treatment of movement disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of microglial migration by a micropipette assay

TL;DR: A protocol for rapidly triggering and monitoring microglial migration by using a micropipette assay that can be adopted to examine cell migration in multiple cell types, including cancer cells with a wide range of chemical signals.
